Sip & Sounds,

About the event

Sip & Sounds is a monthly event series that I founded and have been curating at DEIÀ, a vibrant Black-owned cocktail bar in Brooklyn. It serves as a dynamic platform for young professionals, creatives, and entrepreneurs to come together, network, and enjoy a night of music, culture, and connection.

At Sip & Sounds, we create an inclusive and welcoming space where all genders—gay, straight, trans, and non-binary—feel celebrated and empowered. The event features live music from talented DJs, interactive performances, and curated experiences designed to spark meaningful conversations and foster creativity.

This series is more than just an evening of entertainment; it’s a place where ideas are exchanged, friendships are formed, and cultural discovery thrives. Whether you’re looking to relax with friends, expand your professional network, or enjoy a night out, Sip & Sounds offers something for everyone.

With consistent growth and attendance, Sip & Sounds has become a beloved event that brings people together through shared experiences, vibrant energy, and a love for music and community.
